hello!

I have an oppertunity to get A8 5600k or Athlon II 750k for the same price.A8 5600k is an APU but i will not use intergrated graphics since i have an 7850 gpu.But the price is the same for this two so what is better option?Im using my pc mostly for gaming.

they both will run 7850 without any problems. however i suggest you get the A8 for the simple reason if something were to happen with your 7850 you could still game using the powerful onboard graphics. considering both are priced the same get the A8 without a shadow of doubt

Yeah, I recommend the A8 as well. Both the A8 and the Athlon II have the Trinity core and is based on Piledriver. The A8's stock speed is 200MHz higher (more important to me), but the turbo speed is 100MHz (not much difference).
